Limits and method

23

Limitations and open questions

Known constraints and missing evidence from the collected pages.

The collected pages do not mention any competitors by name. Evidence gaps include lack of company ownership details, security certifications, and API documentation. Open questions remain about the underlying investor database size and update frequency beyond the monthly lists.

24

Sources, method, and limitations

Evidence inventory, collection method, provider use, and constraints.

This report is based on 15 collected pages from shizune.co, including the homepage, pricing page, and investor list pages. Static and browser rendering rendering were used; external proof search was enabled but no verification requests were made. The evidence catalog includes 180+ entries, but many are from YC application examples that are not directly about Shizune's product. Limitations: some claims may be from marketing pages and not independently verified.
